Do you like getting out and about? Are the walls closing in on you while the kids scrap over the same toy? If you are anything like me and need to get out of the house even if it is just to the playground then I am putting a list in indoor and outdoor places around Cork and beyond that might take your fancy. As always it is a work in progress if you have ideas and want to give me some details on a place near you I would love to know.

Just added a DAYS OUT section too. More to follow it is looking a bit sparse in it at the moment.

Great St Patrick's day trail yesterday at @fotahouseandgardens . On again at easter. Regardless of the trail it's such a beautiful place for a walk and @bakestonecafe is open again which is a massive bonus.

There goes the Christmas holidays! All the decorations are down. Happy women's Christmas for the day that's in it! Back to reality tomorrow but sure its a new year, so will keep the spirits up!

Love being able to randomly ask the locals what to do over Instagram! Thank you. I'll be back!

Popped into @blackrockcastleobservatory afterwards. Love this spot. Normally pop in to @castlecafecork for a take away coffee and sit outside but we sat down inside for a treat and thought the menu was very good. Can get vegetables and hummus for 4.50 and ice cream and baby chinno for 2 euro. Good alternatives if you don't want full meal. None of my stuff are ads by the way I

Happy International Women's day. Here's to raising strong independent women who support each other. These pics are from our trip to dursey Island a couple of weeks ago and Garnish beach. West Cork is one of my favourite places and great to blow the cobwebs away from winter. Details in highlights. Bring on some good weather and more springtime adventures #raisinggirls#happyinternationalwomensday
